Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Everything happened just as Lu Xunhuan had expected. After the Northern Barbarian Cavalry arrived, they remained motionless.

They stationed their troops here, on the one hand, to wait for the arrival of food and siege weapons from the rear.

On the other hand, it was also to block the path of the Eastern Yan army to the west and ensure the safety of the rear army.

The next day passed peacefully, and in the blink of an eye it was night again.

Lu Xunhuan ordered his soldiers to quietly leave the city and spread the iron spikes around the city wall.

At midnight, torches appeared on the western avenue like a long dragon.

He knew that the enemy's follow-up troops were coming with food and siege weapons.

If he were to rely on his current abilities, he would be able to charge into a vast army without any harm.

But he didn't want to expose his abilities.

Once he mobilizes the dragon energy to protect his body or activates the hidden armor, the enemy will not recognize him, but he has tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians all over the city.

Everyone will be shocked by the golden light that protects the body.

In this way, everyone spread the news from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Soon, the whole world would know that there was a Lu Chenglong in Dongyan who was protected by an unknown golden light.

The common people may not understand the truth, but the immortals immediately knew that he was carrying a huge treasure.

Then he will become the target of public criticism.

It's possible that immortal masters from other countries will come in groups to destroy him. At his current level, it is impossible for him to withstand the siege of so many top masters.

Why should he expose himself and bring himself into endless trouble?

For Dongyan, it’s not worth it.

Last time at Tongmu Pass, he used dragon energy to protect his body, but at that time there were only him and Li Susu on his side, and the Zhou Kingdom defenders didn't know who he was.

Even if the news was passed back and Zhou Guoxian's family knew about it, they would not know who had the golden light.

On the city wall, everyone was on high alert.

However, after the enemy's rear troops arrived, they did not launch an attack immediately.

The other party has traveled such a long distance and needs to rest, eat and sleep.

So, this night is still peaceful.

It was not until another daybreak that the enemy finally began to move.

The infantry ran in formation across the fields, and outside the city there was a huge sea of ​​people.

About an hour later, the enemy troops arrived at the west gate, south gate and east gate.

Looking from the city wall, three huge phalanxes were stationed outside the city in a very majestic manner.

In front of each phalanx, catapults formed a long line.

On the city wall, Lu Xunhuan ordered everyone to prepare their long shields.

On the next level of the tower, about ten feet below the battlement, there is a row of square holes about half a foot in diameter along the wall.

Behind the square hole are soldiers hidden in the interlayer of the city wall and huge bows.

Each giant bow requires ten soldiers to pull it.

Each arrow was ten feet long, with a straight wooden shaft at the back and a sharp iron spear at the tip.

When Lu Xunhuan saw them, he was reminded of the javelin in modern sports.

In fact, the javelin used in modern sports was also used on the battlefield to kill enemies in ancient times.

Outside the city, after the enemy army was ready, they blew the horn on the grassland.

Outside the three city walls, catapults moved forward in rows.

When they were within their range, they stopped and reloaded with stones.

In the interlayer of the city wall, ten soldiers pulled their bows, a sergeant placed a javelin and aimed at the thick wooden frame of the catapult, and an oiled cotton cloth was tied to the arrow head.

Outside the city, the enemy had already given the order: "Release."

Suddenly, countless heavy stones in the sky drew long parabolas in the sky, like falling rocks from the sky.

Inside the wall, the sergeant took a tinder, lit the oily cotton on the tip of the javelin, and shouted, "Fire!"

The ten soldiers let go at the same time, and there was a buzzing sound, which was the sound of the bowstring vibrating the air.

The javelin flew out like an arrow, fast and far, and reached the catapult in the blink of an eye.

Some of the javelins were shot accurately and nailed to the thick wooden frame of the catapult, burning with fire.

Some of the javelins missed the catapults and flew backwards into the enemy group, killing and injuring several people.

Some javelins, after hitting the catapult, would use their cleverness to break the wooden frame, rendering the catapult immediately useless.

On the city wall, the soldiers held on with huge shields.

A moment later, many stones flew onto the city wall and slammed onto the shield.

The loud bang almost deafened my ears.

In the mezzanine of the city wall, everyone shot a round of javelins and then continued shooting.

Next to each giant bow, there are a hundred javelins prepared, which can be used for endless shooting.

If the enemy's catapult does not fall, shoot until it falls.

The Northern Barbarians had attacked Beishan City before. The city on the other side of Beishan City was built earlier and did not have such a design.

Therefore, they had never experienced the power of the giant bow on the battlefield.

The Stone City was built later and was designed specifically as a wartime city. Naturally, its defense measures are more numerous and stricter than those of the Beishan City.

Stones were thrown recklessly outside the city, hoping to kill as many soldiers of Eastern Yan as possible and reduce obstacles to the siege.

Inside the city wall, soldiers fired round after round of javelins at the catapults.

A quarter of an hour later, one-third of the enemy's catapults in the three directions had either collapsed or burned and could no longer be used.

Thousands of soldiers were killed or injured by the powerful impact of the javelin.

But the enemy did not stop. The catapults that were still usable continued to throw stones at the city walls.

Lu Xunhuan hid behind a huge shield, watching the enemy's stones flying towards him and our javelins flying out, just like watching a show.

He was not panicked at all and looked confident.

Another quarter of an hour later, two-thirds of the enemy's catapults had collapsed.

Finally, the enemy thought it was enough, and the surviving catapults stopped firing.

Outside the city, war drums sounded.

The enemy army consisted of about 150,000 infantrymen, divided into three directions: east, south, and west.

The first wave of attackers, carrying ladders and shouting, rushed towards the city wall.

But when the first wave of soldiers ran to a place five meters away from the city wall, they fell to the ground in pain.

After falling to the ground, he was pierced by more iron spikes and was disabled on the spot. How could he still charge forward?

Thousands of people in the front were injured by the iron spikes, but the enemy troops in the rear did not stop and continued to come like a tide.

With successive advances, the tall ladder finally reached the foot of the city wall.

On the city wall, a general shouted, "Release!"

The archers on the city wall were divided into three rows: front, middle and back. After shooting an arrow, the ones in the front immediately retreated, while the ones in the middle hurried forward to shoot arrows.

After the people in the middle have finished shooting their arrows, the last row will run up and shoot arrows.

By the time the last row had shot their arrows, the arrows of the first row of archers who had retreated to the back were already on the strings.

In this way, the archers on the city wall shot arrows without stopping.

Above the sky, there are always arrows that cover the sky and block out the sun.

Amid screams, countless enemy soldiers were shot into hedgehogs.

A quarter of an hour later, the first wave of 30,000 soldiers were wiped out.

The Northern Barbarian General couldn't help but gasp.

Of course, he didn't know that there were three rows of archers on the city wall taking turns shooting, and he thought there were many defenders in the city.

He was in a bit of a dilemma.

In the last wave of charge, 30,000 out of 150,000 infantry were killed.

If they force the attack again and are shot by those arrows that cover the sky and the sun again, all 60,000 of them will be gone.

Fifteen thousand, all died after five rounds of charge.

He finally chose to suspend the attack and sent a signal to the three city gates to suspend the attack.

In Lu Xunhuan's eyes, the enemy troops retreated three miles in three directions.

He said to a general beside him: "Lead the soldiers, go out of the city and pick up the arrows and javelins, and wear wooden shoes."

After a while, the three city gates were opened, and tens of thousands of soldiers went out of the city to pick up arrows and javelins.

The enemy general watched from a distance, confused.

Are the people of Dong Yan so brave that they are not afraid of the cavalry of the Northern Barbarians?

He did not notice that most of the Dong Yan people were picking up arrows, but some soldiers mixed in with them, quietly nailing wooden stakes outside the three city gates.

Between the wooden stakes, there was a serrated wire stretched half a foot off the ground according to Lu Xunhuan's request.

A group of soldiers mixed in with the soldiers picking up arrows and drove groups of wooden stakes into the air at different locations.

If the enemy cavalry ran in a straight line, no matter how they ran, they would eventually be tripped by the wire.

The Northern Barbarian general watched from a distance for a while and shouted, "Damn it! The Eastern Yan people are going too far. Do they think our cavalry is just a decoration? Order the cavalry to kill those people and don't let them collect arrows."

At a command, the cavalry rushed out of the camp, and the earth shook.

The Northern Barbarians’ cavalry were indeed fast, coming like the wind.

According to the speed at which the Eastern Yan soldiers ran, most of them would not have time to run into the city and would be caught up by the Northern Barbarian cavalry.

But when the Northern Barbarian cavalry came in like a tide, they were still about ten feet away from the Eastern Yan soldiers when their horses' hooves stepped on the serrated wire.

A group of more than ten saw teeth form a row of saw teeth. When the horse steps into it, it does not step on one tooth, but steps on a whole row of teeth.

When the horse ran out again, its skin was torn and its tendons were broken, and it had become a useless horse.

Those who were able to run out were considered strong. More horses were tripped and fell to the ground on the spot. Both the people and the horses were injured and covered in blood by the saw teeth.

Others were stuck in place, entangled in the wires and unable to move.

There was a big trouble ahead, people and horses were thrown to the ground, and the cavalrymen following closely behind had no time to rein in their horses, so they caught up with the enemy and immediately fell into a heap.

Outside the three city walls, war horses were wailing mournfully.

The cavalry in the rear noticed something was wrong and reined in their horses in time. Javelins came from the interlayer of the city wall.

No matter whether the arrow hit a person or a horse, they would be penetrated and die on the spot.

The Northern Barbarian cavalry rushed out like the wind and retreated in disgrace.

In just this one charge, three thousand cavalry were lost.

The great general of the Northern Barbarians was so angry that he was fuming, but he had no good plan.

He could only order the entire army to withdraw to the plains west of Stone City and gather together.

In this way, they neither gave up attacking Stone City nor cut off the road to Beishan City.

If Dong Yan wants to recapture Beishan City, it must first defeat the more than 200,000 enemy troops in the wilderness.
